Liberal Party of Ecuador

The Liberal Party was a liberal political party in Ecuador. The party had classical liberal economic and social views and conservative foreign policy views, combining free markets and religious freedom with restrictions on citizenship and a belief in high military spending. The Liberal Party's more radical wing would leave to form the Ecuadorian Radical Liberal Party in 1878, and it was the radical wing that would hold power throughout the 20th century, not the moderate liberals of the Liberal Party.
